Best Tape for Indoor Plastic Dust Protection Sheeting?
I am about to completely demolish 2 bathrooms, down to the studs. It's an old house with plaster walls and doing so will make a huge mess with plenty of dust.
So, I grabbed some zipper doors as well as 100' of 6 mil plastic sheeting, and I'd like to make a 20' long plastic tunnel between the bathroom and the front door.
I need to find 2 types of tape to serve 2 purposes.
1) The best tape to join the 6 mil plastic sheeting to itself.
2) The best tape to join the 6 mil plastic sheeting to my walls (preferably without removing all the paint.
Any recommendations would be really appreciated.
For the first purpose, I went on Amazon.com and it seems that sheathing tape might serve as a great way to to join the plastic sheeting to itself, but horribly to tape sheeting to walls. This is the stuff I am eyeballing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Just read about a new double coated tape specifically designed for temporarily attaching plastic sheeting to other materials for dust control, lead or asbestos cleanup, etc.
Might be overkill for one small job though....

Thanks fellas. The right stuff is never overkill! Hell, I'm building a space age containment tunnel for a bathroom remodel...some might call that overkill.
Thanks again.

Poly air duct is the bomb if you want to exhaust dust out a window that's a long ways away...
